Not everyone is happy with what's seen by some on the island as an Australian Government takeover, and there is a push by a group called Norfolk Island People for Democracy to have the island listed by the United Nations as a non-self governing territory to be decolonised.
Norfolk Island is inhabited by descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian wives who lived on Pitcairn Island and were moved to Norfolk many years later.
Former chief minister Lisle Snell says that the Australian Bureau of Statistics has made sure that the islanders can express their separate Norfolk Island identity on the census form.Bruce Hill0 -160Lightning Ridge aged migrantshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-25/lightning-ridge-aged-migrants/7658640
